Abstract

It is now possible by scintigraphic imaging to identify the presence of acute transmural or nontransmural myocardial infarcts by noninvasive techniques and to localize acute transmural infarcts. Radionuclide blood-pool scintigraphy allows assessment of the impact of old and new myocardial damage on left ventricular function.
